[Bug 1621378] Re: console-conf should tell the user that the keyboard is US only
well, all we actually need is the loadkeys binary and the keymaps from console-data after all ... and a sane subprocess invocation in python to call loadkeys with the right keymap file. this should not be rocket science but sadly the overhead that console- setup and keyboard-configuration add on top (for bringing xorg in sync with the console etc etc) kind of makes it such which is why i'd like us to go with something way smaller here. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1621378 Title: console-conf should tell the user that the keyboard is US only To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/snappy/+bug/1621378/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1621378] Re: console-conf should tell the user that the keyboard is US only
Indeed, it's better to leave this as a list. We *do* have some existing logic for detection, should we want to use it (it's in d-i's console- setup), but it's probably simpler to list locales. Using console-setup (well, keyboard-configuration) is one thing, but it will still need a lot of massaging to get it to python, and to remove years of migration cruft. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1621378 Title: console-conf should tell the user that the keyboard is US only To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/snappy/+bug/1621378/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1621378] Re: console-conf should tell the user that the keyboard is US only
i'd vote for a list, though i'd pretty much like to rip this out again and come up with something that does not grow the image by 10% via pulling in a ton of dependencies. i.e. as we discussed on IRC we should rather use the cut down bits from the d-i keyboard configuration udeb. especially in the light that we do all this on a system where you can never actually use the local keyboard apart from typing in this one line with an email address. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1621378 Title: console-conf should tell the user that the keyboard is US only To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/snappy/+bug/1621378/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

There are risks with "to the left of the spacebar" even for people who think they are using US keyboard layouts: http://www.kinesis-ergo.com /wp-content/uploads/2016/08/adv2-main-marquee-slide.jpg :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1621378 Title: console-conf should tell the user that the keyboard is US only To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/snappy/+bug/1621378/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

So I think edge ubuntu-core has the keyboard config files required. Now what? I know nothing about how this sort of thing works (any advice for documentation?).

[Bug 1621378] Re: console-conf should tell the user that the keyboard is US only
well, dont forget that there is no local user at all ... you can not log in locally on these images, only via ssh (which will use the host keymap) ... if we can ship keymap input data and generate the right one on the fly without having to grow the image/ubuntu-core by megabytes, lets do it ... but if we would need to put localization back in, i'd veto this and just go with a note ...

[Bug 1621378] Re: console-conf should tell the user that the keyboard is US only
Should it be done as a notice that the only supported keymap is US english, or should we spend time to implement a proper keymap selection process and applying the keymap? How important is this feature relative to others? I think there is no question that we can't only expect the world to use the US-English keymaps and that only ever on Ubuntu Core (and being french canadian I have my own preferences this would clash with too); but we need to figure out what is the best way to go about handling this in console-conf -- notice that the configuration here is us-eng only (which seems suboptimal), or implement a complete keymaps selection interface, and figure out a way to ship the relevant localization data in the core snap or elsewhere? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1621378 Title: console-conf should tell the user that the keyboard is US only To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/snappy/+bug/1621378/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1621378] Re: console-conf should tell the user that the keyboard is US only
we invested quite some time to get rid of all i18n on these images to make them as small as possible ... so hopefully this wont come back (after all the embedded images are not typically used constantly by endusers but drive some embedded system instead ... we should have the ability to ship i18n stuff via additional snaps though, for people wanting that) i'm not really sure about the wording either ... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1621378 Title: console-conf should tell the user that the keyboard is US only To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/snappy/+bug/1621378/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Can you suggest some wording?
